but when Drogba was at Marseille they were hardly a great goalscoring machine

they were outplayed at Anfield and Drogba produced to get a point, then took them to France and went through

They were dogged and he capitalised on chances that were few and far between in Europe. So for me, he goes beyond that crappy "more chances at chels" as he did the hard work ethic that is getting labelled as defence for our strikers in comparison to him

He's getting the unfair brunt of chelsea's loss in the champs league, when it wasn't his fault they lost
